The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the thermal expansion of the rods A, B, and C. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the thermal expansion formula The linear expansion of a rod can be expressed as: \[ \Delta L = L_0 \cdot \alpha \cdot \Delta T \] where: - \(\Delta L\) is the change in length, - \(L_0\) is the original length, - \(\alpha\) is the coefficient of linear expansion, - \(\Delta T\) is the change in temperature. ### Step 2: Apply the formula to rod A For rod A: - Length \(L_0\) - Expands by \(\Delta L\) when the temperature increases by \(100^\circ C\). Using the formula: \[ \Delta L = L_0 \cdot \alpha_1 \cdot 100 \] This gives us: \[ \Delta L = 100 L_0 \alpha_1 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 3: Apply the formula to rod B For rod B: - Length \(2L_0\) - Expands by \(\frac{\Delta L}{2}\) for the same temperature increase. Using the formula: \[ \frac{\Delta L}{2} = 2L_0 \cdot \alpha_2 \cdot 100 \] This gives us: \[ \Delta L = 4 L_0 \alpha_2 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 4: Analyze rod C Rod C is made up of pieces of rods A and B placed end to end, with a total length of \(3L_0\). Let the length of rod A in rod C be \(x\) and the length of rod B be \(3L_0 - x\). ### Step 5: Write the expansion equation for rod C Rod C expands by \(2\Delta L\) when heated through \(100^\circ C\): \[ 2\Delta L = x \cdot \alpha_1 \cdot 100 + (3L_0 - x) \cdot \alpha_2 \cdot 100 \] Substituting \(\Delta L\) from Equations 1 and 2: \[ 2(100 L_0 \alpha_1) = x \cdot \alpha_1 \cdot 100 + (3L_0 - x) \cdot \alpha_2 \cdot 100 \] Dividing through by \(100\): \[ 2L_0 \alpha_1 = x \alpha_1 + (3L_0 - x) \alpha_2 \] ### Step 6: Rearranging the equation Rearranging gives: \[ 2L_0 \alpha_1 = x \alpha_1 + 3L_0 \alpha_2 - x \alpha_2 \] \[ 2L_0 \alpha_1 = x (\alpha_1 - \alpha_2) + 3L_0 \alpha_2 \] ### Step 7: Solve for \(x\) Rearranging for \(x\): \[ x (\alpha_1 - \alpha_2) = 2L_0 \alpha_1 - 3L_0 \alpha_2 \] \[ x = \frac{2L_0 \alpha_1 - 3L_0 \alpha_2}{\alpha_1 - \alpha_2} \] ### Step 8: Find the length of each portion Now we can find the length of each portion: - Length of rod A in rod C: \(x\) - Length of rod B in rod C: \(3L_0 - x\) ### Final Result Substituting values back, we find: - Length of rod A: \(x = \frac{5}{3}L_0\) - Length of rod B: \(3L_0 - x = \frac{4}{3}L_0\) ### Summary of Lengths - Length of rod A in rod C: \(\frac{5}{3}L_0\) - Length of rod B in rod C: \(\frac{4}{3}L_0\)

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the thermal expansion of the rods A, B, and C. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the thermal expansion formula The linear expansion of a rod can be expressed as: \[ \Delta L = L_0 \cdot \alpha \cdot \Delta T \] where: ...
